Magic Wok in Lewes

Was such a shame as me and my partner are regular customers and today we had two hairs in our food and we hadn't even eaten half our meals food was amazing just finding the hairs put us off

We thought we would treat ourselves to a Chinese tonight as we missed Christmas due to covid, so we tried Magic Wok for the first time. Is it normally abysmal? They'd put actual tiny cubes of luncheon meat in the tasteless soggy Singapore noodles (No chicken at all). The chicken satay was in a bland grey sauce instead of a thick creamy rich sauce full of peanut flavour. Chicken balls were tiny with slivers of chicken. Small portions and just generally grim. We won't be deviating from New Sun Rise in Seaford again. It was incredible in comparison. £60 wasted and such a disappointment too.

Worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. The most bland and un-seasoned Singapore noodles known to man. No spice, no flavour, no meat other than spam. Noodles were watery and tasted of nothing more than onion. Rest of the dishes were average to poor. Left half of my food as it was that unappealing. Food was ordered at the start of service so there was no excuse for the beige, tasteless food we got. I'm astonished at any person who rates this place. Do you actually have taste buds🤔

Friendly staff, food is quick, always on time, hot and as ordered! And the best priced locally!! WIN! As a chef who has worked in a few restaurants over the decades I know value for money! Keep up the good work.. 👍 p.s Thankyou for the new calendar! 2024 🐉

Quite frankly the most sad and vile Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had! Also luke warm at best on arrival I regret the calorie spend on this

Our first time ordering takeaway from here. Although ambience was a little less than welcoming, it will not be the last! The menu was as expected for a Chinese takeaway. Staff were informative and helpful. The food, which is what I came for, was excellent. Generous portions of really tasty Chinese dishes. We worth a visit. I will definitely be returning. Thank you Magic Wok.

Really good takeaway. Always very tasty and they are happy to customise dishes to accommodate your liking. The grilled pork dumplings are to die for!

I am all about the food... this one was very bland and boring. Sorry but vegetarian option was tasteless and so was chicken with bamboo shoots and chestnuts.

Been using this chinese for the past month after settling for awful Chinese in Peacehaven for many years. Each time ordering from Magic Wok I am blown away with the beautiful flavours. The best Chinese takeaway I've had so far. 👌👍 Yeah this has totally changed. Maybe dog food would taste better?🙄 Do better

Absolutely disgusting.....paid £17.50 for a meal. Everything was oily and tasteless.... Never again....

Broke my tooth on unexpectedly bit of bone Not impressed with this takeaway at all

My first time using The Magic Wok as a truck driver called them up great food and service. I'll definitely use them again when staying in Newhaven

The staff are very helpful and the food is regularly cooked to perfection. I regularly order duck and pineapple and other dishes and am always pleased. I would recommend.

Placed an order for delivery and gave the delivery driver a cheque (website say cheques accepted). Unfortunately the cheque was refused and I didn't get my order. Why say cheques accepted when you don't accept them? Won't be going back.

Not as good as the last time I used this shop a lot more rice and a lot less meat and vegetables

You won't be disappointed Good food

Ok but bit expensive for the quality

Always consistent high standard of food.

I never leave reviews but this was so poor I felt the need to. Usually I get Chinese from a place a bit further away from home but wanted to support local. Biggest mistake. Right down to the prawn crackers it was vile. Greasy, tasteless, dry. The lady on the phone was also really rude, sarcastic and clearly completely hates her job. Really poor food seriously would never order from here again even if I was smashed

Fantastic food. Duck + pineapple with egg fried rice. Tastes good, like you expect

Delicious Kung Po chicken - crispy batter, lovely fresh vegetables and nicely firm cashew nuts, with a good hit of chilli.

We've just moved to Newhaven and wanted to keep our tradition of a Chinese on a Friday. What a little gem this place is! Quick delivery, delicious food, reasonable price. Everything was fresh and hot. Our Friday tradition remains!

Ordered sweet corn and crab soup and received sweet corn and shredded ocean stick soup. Special fried rice and got chicken and peas fried rice. It’s now over 24 hours and didn’t get food poisoning so that’s a bonus. Daughter enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken balls. Prawn toast old and very oily but other starters were ok. I prefer Peacehaven Oriental Taste but will try Seaford takeaways.

Food caused me to bleed profusely & now I require a colostomy bag but other than that it’s alright I suppose

Foods ok but it looks really dirty out front so would hate to see the kitchen.

Ordered the beef with ginger & spring onion. Great tasty flavour although we feel it could have a bit more beef. Also had sweet n sour pork balls which were tasty. Food was delivered within 10 minutes piping hot. Great value for money. Keep up the good food & service

I'm feeling like I wok magic 😂😂😂 very good taste

I ordered at the counterand the food was served quite quickly to the extent it had all the hallmarks of being freshly "nuked" in a microwave. A bit on the bland side and customer service wasnt exactly enthusiastic, it felt like you were being a hindrance. 1st and last visit....

Always happy with the food from here, been going for several years - it's as good, if not better, than the takeaways in Peacehaven and Seaford, so I recommend it if you're local!

we had our 1st and last takeaway, it was disgusting, waited for delivery for a hour, the chips were hard as though they were heated up in micro wave, and the curry sauce tasted plastic and heated way to long and tainted the flavour, never again

Good for a quick Chinese takeaway, will also deliver.

My large order which included seafood only took about 5 minutes to cook which was a bit worrying, food did taste nice but tasted microwaved.

Excellent food. I use this restaurant regularly because its one of the best Chinese takeaways I've tried & certainly the best for miles around. Not expensive, good value for money & good service. Sadly there seems to be a negative campaign going on which is unjustified & undeserved.

Very unhappy with how long it's toke to receive our food was told 45mins and we have no waited over 1 and half hours! Also order from there before and waited over 2 hours for our food!!! Not happy at all!!!

Always worth a visit. Good food and nice people

They only have 1 star from Lewes District council scores on the doors food hygiene. That says a lot about the food management side of the business. Eat at your peril. L.D.C visited on 09/11/2016 and gave Magic Wok 1 star, yet they still show in the window 3 stars. Shame on them !

Recently refurbished and their food hygiene is 3. Probably will be higher after the renovation. Like coming here as I like their food.

i work in this takeaway, and would like to assure anyone who is commenting nasty posts that all our food is prepared freshly, the rice is made new each time someone orders and we actually pride ourselves on our quick deliver time as we like having fast drivers. As for apparently poor service, I'm pretty sure that me and my other workers are all polite to each customer and that 9/10 it is in fact the customer who is rude. The amount of people I have had calling me names down the phone is unbelievable. If you truly had a problem with your meal then simply ring us back up we will most likely replace the order. Thank you very much

I've been getting meals from Magic Wok since they opened. Ok, so they can have off days. Who doesn't? But generally the fodder is tasty, well cooked, and value for money. I recommend Magic Wok.

Awful food quality made me feel ill! service poor and the food was expensive, the rice is so dry you can tell its just re heated.

Always good food, never had any problems. Well worth short trip from Peacehaven as collection orders very quick. Can't comment on whole menu as only stick to favourites but have recommended & dined with family and friends who all enjoyed too.

love the food fast delivery better than anything we've got in peacehaven

Most disgusting Chinese I have ever had. The barbecue spare ribs taste was incredible fatty. The sauce was watery. The rice tasted like something that was cooked a few days ago and sat in that waiting area. The sesame prawns on toast was extremely burnt. 100%I will not be going there again.
